Political Action

The Florida Carpenters Regional Council is actively involved in politics
on the federal, state and local levels, and we help our individual members to
speak in a strong, unified voice. We practice “Carpenter Politics,”
an inclusive and non-partisan effort to support candidates who champion the
goals of working people, promote needed infrastructure investments, and support
fair trade.

Political activity is an important function of our Locals and Council. Political
committees may interview candidates seeking support, promote political
involvement and voting among the membership, and assist in campaigns.

Members are encouraged to attend government meetings and public hearings where
issues affecting them are discussed and to reach out directly to the officials
they helped elect.

Get involved! We need every carpenters’ voice to be heard in our halls
of government!
